UCLA Bruins

Odds to Win: UCLA +1000
Conference: Pac-12 Conference
NCAA: Division I (FBS)
Basketball Arena: Pauley Pavilion, Los Angeles, California

Counting their March 9 victory over the Colorado Buffaloes, the UCLA Bruins are on an 11-game winning streak. During the streak, UCLA exacted revenge over the rival Arizona Wildcats 82-73.

They also beat Colorado twice, ASU by 18 and dominated Cal by 35 points. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Tyger Campbell have UCLA peaking at the right time. If the Bruins secure the top seed in the West Region, they’re going to be close to impossible to beat until the Elite Eight.

UConn Huskies

Odds to Win: UConn +2000
Conference: Big East Conference
NCAA: Division I (FBS)
Basketball Arena: Gampel Pavilion, Storrs, Connecticut

There was a stretch during the regular season where UConn wasn’t playing good basketball. But since losing 5-of-6 between Dec. 31 and Jan. 25, the Huskies have rolled.

Connecticut finished the regular season winning 8-of-9. The only loss came in a 53-56 contest on the road against Creighton.

UConn beat Providence 73-66 on March 9 in their first Big East Tournament game. The Huskies are a team to watch for sure.

Duke Blue Devils

Odds to Win: Duke +5000
Conference: Atlantic Coast Conference
NCAA: Division I (FBS)
Basketball Arena: Cameron Indoor Stadium, Durham, North Carolina

Duke didn’t have the type of regular season their fans expected. In plenty of games, the Blue Devils struggled. But towards the end of the regular season, the Dookies picked it up big time.

Duke finished the regular season winning 6 straight. The best part about the streak? The Blue Devils upset North Carolina 63-57 on the road in the final regular season game. The win not only secured a Duke bid to the NCAA Tournament but it may have knocked out the rival Tar Heels.

The Devils demolished Pittsburgh 96-69 in their first ACC Tournament game. Keep two eyes on Duke in the NCAA Tournament.

Gonzaga Bulldogs

Odds to Win: Gonzaga +2000
Conference: West Coast Conference
NCAA: Division I (FBS)
Basketball Arena: McCarthey Athletic Center, Spokane, Washington

Heading into the weekend, the Zags are on a 9-game winning streak. What’s so impressive about the streak is that the Zags have covered in 6-of-9.

Also impressive? Gonzaga exacted revenge over St. Mary’s the last team that beat them, twice during the streak: 77-68 in a regular season game and 77-51 in a West Coast Tournament contest.

No doubt, the Zags are peaking. Mark Few might have the best chance he’s ever had to win the NCAA Tournament and Gonzaga is flying under the radar.

Marquette Golden Eagles

Odds to Win: Marquette +2500
Conference: Big East Conference
NCAA: Division I (FBS)
Basketball Arena: Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Marquette required overtime to get by St. John’s in their first Big East Tournament game. A closer look reveals why.

The matchup happened in New York. So, no doubt, the fans were heavily behind the Red Storm. The Golden Eagles prevailed, which means Marquette has gone 17-2 in their last 19 games. The 2 losses were on the road versus Xavier and UConn.

Texas A&M Aggies

Odds to Win: Texas +50000
Conference: Southeastern Conference
NCAA: Division I (FBS)
Basketball Arena: Reed Arena, College Station, Texas

We saved the hottest team for last. Alabama will get the 1-seed, but the Crimson Tide isn’t the SEC’s best college basketball team.

Unlike other conferences, teams in the SEC play each other once, not twice. Texas A&M handled Bama 67-61 in the lone head-to-head. Not only that, but the Aggies finished the regular season winning 8-of-9 SU and ATS.

So we can make a case for Texas A&M being the Southeastern Conference’s top squad. Also, A&M boasts Wade Taylor IV at the point. Taylor IV might be the best point guard in the nation.
